Fellowes Neptune3 125 Advanced 4-roller Paper Laminator

If you are looking for a home office laminator, you should seriously consider the Fellowes Neptune3 125 Laminator. With dimensions of 4.5"x20"x6.75," it fits easily on most desks or work-spaces. Not only is it easy to set up and use, I was surprised by how quiet it was. It warms up and is ready to use in right at a minute, and it's surprisingly fast, and can laminate documents or project up to 12.5 inches. Self-adjusting it can laminate pouches up to 7 mil thick, offers a choice of either hot or cold lamination, and will laminate up to 24 inches a minute. The reverse feature allows you to easily eject the project, if there is ever a need to re-center or remove it completely. It will automatically move into its sleep mode and then into standby should you fail to turn it off, but all you have to do is hit the power button and it will be up and running again in less than a minute. Fellowes Heat Guard Technology helps keep the system cool to the touch. Also has carrying handles and an tray that will hold your finished work, keeping it flat. The carrying handle makes it easy to move if the need arises. I would highly recommend this laminator.

The Fellowes Neptune 3/125 Laminator is a very well-made and solid unit. It weighs 14 pounds and is 4.5" high 20" long and 6.75 deep. It has a 1200 watt heating unit and uses 10 amps of 120V 60 Hz Ac power. The laminator is very easy to use and understand. The Neptune 3/125 comes with a feature refereed to as "Auto Sense". This system automatically detects the laminating pouch thickness and the self-adjusts the unit for optimal results. It will except laminating pouch thickness from 3 mil to 7 mil. Maximum entry width is 12.5 inches. Arrows on the front loading slot are set for Photo,Letter and menu/A3. Simply line up the laminating pouch with the arrows and apply gentle initial feeding pressure and the rest is automatic. The completed laminated document is now delivered to the exit tray located on the back of the unit.The exiting tray protrudes from the back of the machine by 10 and one quarter inches. You will need approximately 16 and 1/2 inches of desk or shelf space to allow for the width of the unit and the exit tray. The Neptune 3/125 has a Reverse Function,Sleep Mode,Heat Guard and Auto Hot/Cold selector button that lets you toggle between hot and cold laminating. This is an office grade laminator and is well made and thought out. As with all heat activated laminators the unit is warm to the touch after use. When the unit is initially turned on the standby button will glow blue. By pressing the stand-by button the Auto Display light will come on. The Auto Display button will turn solid in color and you will hear a beep when the laminator is ready for use. Lamination is a heating process and after your document has been laminated it will remain warm to the touch for a few minutes.The machine has an automatic cool down feature and you can hear a high pitched fan noise for the duration of this cool down cycle. This is the only negative feature of the unit otherwise the machine is very quiet. I would highly recommend the Neptune 3/125 laminator for anyone in the market for a well-designed,feature rich,office quality, heavy duty laminator.
